Separate Tables The Radford University Theatre Department finished off its '79-'80 season with a fine production of Separate Tables. The play was actually two plays combined, each centered around the residents of the Beauregard Hotel. The guest artist for this production, Ed Nelson, whose credits include numerous guest roles on television, played both John Mal-com and Major Pollock. The first play concerns itself with Malcom, a man bitter about the past and trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol. He finds his life further complicated when his ex-wife, played by Sandra Young, comes to the hotel to get her husband back. The second play deals with the troubles of Major Pollock, a man the hotel busybody, deftly played by Mary Davis Schwantke, discovers is a fraud. She soon makes her discovery known to all the hotel residents, including her shy daughter, Sibil, played by Sheila Crowley. This play ends with a delightful twist when Sibil refuses to hold Major Pollock's lies against him, despite her mother's objections. The play took its title from the fact that all the residents of the hotel ate their meals at individual tables in the dining room. 20 Spring Ooug Bwbcr
